Investigating the wave energy capacity within the Oman coastal and terrestrial waters

Description

This research paper aims at calculating the energy of waves as renewable and clean energy within the Omani coast up to a depth of fifty meters in the terrestrial Waters from the coast and estimates the amount of available energy. Hence, four positions on the coastline have been studied which are two positions along the northern coast and two positions along the eastern coast. The wave and wind characteristics for each position are extracted daily in five months from the Windfinder website and used in calculations. Comparison of the final results indicates which position and at what depth have more capacities to produce more wave power than the other points.
